TS2972 New user query re iTunes library

My laptop broke and I got an iPad as replacement. Can I get my music that was in iTunes on my computer??

Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to re-download past iTunes purchases : re-downloading. If you have your music content on an external drive then you won't be able to connect it to the iPad and copy music to the iPad.

  • 2 user accounts 1 iTunes library

    So I'm still new to mac and was rebuilding my iTunes library under my user account on our iMac. When I switched over to my wife's user account, her iTunes library was empty. How do I integrate my library into hers? Thanks in advance.

    It makes no sense that you cannot merge two iTunes accounts.  I am married and I would like to be able to merge my music with my wife's so we can share it across all of our devices.  It seems like the only way to share our music is to burn a CD off of our computers and then load it into the other one's library.  I like iCloud and I was hoping that there would be a way to have one iCloud account that links both of our iTunes accounts so we can share all of our purchased music across our devices.  There should be a solution for a one time merger of 2 iTunes accounts.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

    Hi everyone,
    I keep my 4 & 5 star songs on my C drive and the rest (all stars, 1,2 3, etc.) on my exhternal hard drive.
    Whenever I want to listen to my music, all I can readily play are the tunes on my C drive.
    I'm guessing the issues having one library for tunes stored on separate drives is insurmountable?
    I say that because I'm guessing that my iPod (4th gen) is only capable of importing from one library?
    I think the biggest issue is either I don't know how to (or maybe users can't) list a second drive so that iTunes can load all songs from both drives whenever I do have the second drive up and running.
    Adding to the second drive library issue, I can't figure out how to permanently tag my external HD's (I've got 6) so that their drive letter is not automatically defaulting to their order of prescence.
    I can deal with that issue by simply not opening iTunes while I the second drive has been assigned a drive letter other than what iTunes (hopefully) is set to (i.e.; hopefully C and F drives).
    But can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

    Seems I've over come what is something I'd hoped/expected iTunes would be capable of (ie; reinitiating the pathway for external HD music files when their drive letter is the only thing that changed).
    I tried the obvious by going to iTunes's Edit>Preferences>Advanced and clicking the change button for "iTunes Music folder location", then entered the current drive and pathway (as the drive is currently assigned, F as opposed to the original G) and of course iTunes still couldn;t find the missing tunes.
    Giving up on the hope that iTunes was designed smarter than it is (ie; each and every single missing tune req's manual redirection of pathway, as opposed to a preferable tick box for something like 'use the last redirected pathway').
    And I finally figured out how to properly changed drive letter assignments, but still uncertasin if that means permanently tags my EHD's with that drive letter.
    For that to be permanent, maybe I need to name each drive regardless that Windows already has unique inforamtion on each HD. Suppose I'll soon find out if the drive at this point has fianlly stored its drive name and whether or not Windows will contiue to change the EHD drive letters simply by the order which I am introducing them to the os.
    No real luck with rats nest USB hubs as they crash my os alot, so I'm left to trying to find an easy way of managing the EHD drive assignments. THe following is the closest I've yet to come to doing that:
    Click Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management, and then in the left pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.
    Right-click the drive, partition, logical drive, or volume for which you want to assign a drive letter, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
    Click Change.
    Click Assign the following drive letter (if it is not already selected), click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
    Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the drive letter change.
    Again, too bad iTunes doesn't afford a 'find' feature for 'missing' files such that one might be afforded a tick box for 'do not prompt again, instead use the last indicated location for "iTunes Music" folder as the base storage location'.
    This drive renaming thing is a real hassle. Not like somebody couldn't have guessed it and Windows and/or iTunes can't afford some script, etc. to better manage 'tagging' EHD's and/or re-locating 'missing' tunes.
    But then what would we have to complain about, not that they listen anyway.

    Sorry, but this does not seem to be an iPad question. I'd therefore suggest you ask in the iTunes for Mac forum.

    i have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library.  How do we share selected music between user accounts?

    To give other users read-only access to your library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

  • How do I point my new Macbook at my iTunes Library on my NAS

    Hi
    I've recently bought a Macbook Air and switched from a Windows 7 laptop.  I have my iTunes library (and my wife's library) located on my NAS.
    I now need to configure my Mac user accounts to use the libraries on the NAS (QNAP).  I no longer have access to the Windows laptop (it's broken).
    Please could you advise.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Completely quit iTunes if you have it open.   Then Holding down the Option key while you re-open iTunes should prompt you to select the iTunes Library you wish to use.
    Just Navigate to the folder on your NAS where your iTunes library resides.

  • New iPod to old iTunes library

    I have succumbed to the tempation of a new iPod with video. I have an old 3G iPod and a decent music library built up, including some ITMS stuff, in iTunes.
    I presume it is straightforward to sync this with my new iPod? Will iTunes recognise the new iPod as a foreign user?
    Any advice?

    It won't be a "foreign user" if you're connecting it to the same Mac user account. iTunes will try to give the iPod the same default name (like "Martin Toal's iPod.") You will probably want to assign the new iPod a different name, to avoid any possible conflicts.

  • I am trying to add a new cd to my itunes library but itunes stops responding after 1 song completed

    I am trying to import new cd to my i tunes library.  I have windows 8 system.  After the first song imports itunes stops responding.  I have checked to ensure that itunes is allowed access through the control panel settings.  Everything else in itunes is working properly.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hello goalie
    Check out the article below to troubleshoot the crashing with importing the CD. Startup iTunes in Safe Mode or even try it in a new user to see if that works.

  • Two user accounts, one iTunes library

    Hello,
    trying to solve problem with sharing one itunes library on macbook pro (mid 2009) between two users. I moved all itunes folders to shared folder, open itunes on new account with alt key, choose library and seems to be working. However it isnt...on my account I did the same, worked sometimes. After a qwhile I recognized that i cant use both accounts simultaneously. Once I log in to new account and open itunes and then I just switch users (not logging off) and try to open itunes, the first picture warning appears...I include also pictures with sharing preferences which should be OK.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Once I log off from account, it starts working with other one. But wioth simple switching users, it doesnt work (or rarely:-/)

    yes.
    How will she access "my" iTunes library from her account?
    click here for information.
    you can authorize iTunes on her user account to play/use content purchased with your iTunes store account and vice versa.

  • Created New User Account but iTunes Still Crossing Over.

    I just purchased a nano for my boyfriend and I created a new user account on my PC so the iTunes for his nano will not interfere with the iTunes for my mini. After I created his account and logged on I noticed that the icon for iTunes for my mini is already on his desktop. Deleting the iTunes on his account will cause the iTunes to be deleted from my account and I will be forced to start from square one. Why can't the iTunes for the mini stay within my account?!?!?! Should I go ahead and install the nano software??

    After I created his account and logged on I noticed that the icon for iTunes for my mini is already on his desktop.
    If you double-click this icon, do the items in your iTunes library show up? Unless you've moved the iTunes library to a shared location, the contents of the library should not show up in a different account, but the iTunes icon and application itself will.
    Why can't the iTunes for the mini stay within my account?!?!?!
    The iTunes application is available to all accounts on the machine, but the iTunes library is specific to one account unless you've moved the library to a shared area and told the iTunes application where to find it.
    Should I go ahead and install the nano software??
    Only if the version of iTunes and the iPod updater on the iPod nano's CD are newer than the version currently on your computer.
